The first photo of the two-tone Static Very Violet / Solid Very Violet CRB. It's not as odd as I thought it would look and I kind of like it:

Static Very Violet Front of CRB

Solid Very Violet Back of CRB - With Static V. Violet Edging around arm and neck holes

Side View Showing Both Sides - kind of cute & different

New Wish Blue Multi-Poncho Stripe Power Y

I really, really like this. I love a colorful pattern like this - it pumps me up for my workouts. It's just that Power Ys are not my first choice to workout in for support reasons but I fear this will probably be the only tank in this pattern.

Wish Blue Express Yourself Wrap

Hey, isn't this the look the cheerleader coach in Hellcats was rocking in Episode 1? A Wrap, a Flow Y and a pair of crops?

Why yes, it was.

I am so disappointed in Hellcats lately. Every scene has the coach wearing the same White/HCWE Inner Strength tank - boo. I can't wait until she has something different.

Peace of Mind Jacket - $228

It's cute but I don't know how practical since it looks a bit short. Better wear some long johns under your pants. I remember my jeans slicing into the back of my thighs in winter when I was at college in upstate NY. I learned to appreciate a butt-covering jacket.

Haze Stand Strong Tank

So we've seen enough photos to conclude that if you don't have an hourglass shape, the new Stand Strong tank is not going to give you the illusion of one, unlike the new (vavoom!) Happy Heat tank. However, I think the Stand Strong looks like a decent basic tank for serious workouts. It's made of super wicking and breathable luxtreme. It's got fat straps and a racerback for comfort and support. It's got a modest neckline so you won't flash the gym. It has an A-line shape to accommodate our hips. It has some decorative seaming on the front to add visual interest. As soon as I try it on, I'll give you a fit review. I think it should be at my local stores in a day or two.

About Me

For 18 years I was an electrical engineer working in communications satellite system engineering. I've worked at Boeing, Booz, Allen & Hamilton, and General Electric. For the past ten years I've been a stay at home mom who keeps busy volunteering in my community and chauffeuring my three children to their activities. I live in Orange County, California.

The inaugural Sea Wheeze inspired me to take up running two years ago. I have completed ten half marathons and have three more scheduled for 2015. I mostly run these days but also go to the gym ~3-4 days a week for spin class, weight lifting, and cardio.

I discovered Lululemon six years ago and really liked the fit and performance of the clothes. I do check out other brands so if you would like me to review your product please contact me.
